If you just started playing Minecraft, then one of the highest priorities for you will be survival in the forest. Quite often, beginners do not know what exactly needs to be done in the game, since there are no hints in it. Therefore, this article talks about the steps necessary to ensure that your character does not die on the first night. You will also learn about the troubles that await the player in the forest, and how to overcome them.
Minecraft: Forest Survival
So, you created a new world and ended up in the forest. You should not immediately spend a lot of time reviewing the surroundings: you don’t have so much time until night (about five minutes), and you can enjoy the scenery later.
House selection
First of all, you need to decide on the place of residence. The most successful option would be some kind of cave or house, located near the reservoir. This will provide you with a number of advantages in the later stages of the game: you can engage in farming and fishing without leaving far from home.
If survival in the forest has become your main activity in Minecraft, then a
tree house can be a very original version of the dwelling
. But building it right away will not work, because this will require seedlings, an ax and scissors. And you won’t get all this so easily, so at this stage you can only build some kind of temporary housing in which you will live both at the beginning of the game and during the construction of the main place of residence on a tree.
Mining
We decided on the house. What's next? Before nightfall, you need to get food, a minimum set of wooden, and if possible stone tools, coal for torches, wood and stone - these items will ensure survival in the forest after sunset. As soon as you notice that it has begun to get dark, rather go into your house and lock yourself in it (for this, both the door and ordinary blocks of earth will come down). If you are left homeless on your first night in the game, you will almost certainly be killed by numerous monsters - zombies, skeletons, spiders and creepers.
What to do at night?
If you are lucky and you find several sheep, from which they extracted three blocks of wool, you can craft a bed and quietly oversleep all night. If you didn’t get the sheep, then night is the ideal time to create the interior of your home, extract resources and produce the necessary items. So, for the night it is advisable to craft a set of stone tools, torches, prepared food, as well as armor (if possible).
Survival in the forest: second day
After you survived your first night, there are several options for further action:
- you can engage in the development of your home, for example, to complete the rooms, conduct convenient underground passages to the discovered caves, make several secret exits;
- you can begin to extract resources that are on the surface, and because of this inaccessible at night: a tree, reed, cocoa beans (there are a lot of them in the forest);
- you can climb the highest tree and see where the boundaries of the forest biome are, then go there and look for objects that are not in the forest. But you should not forget the main rule: in the early stages of the game, you should travel only in the sunlight!
In Minecraft, survival in the forest (especially at the beginning of the game) directly depends on how quickly you act. If you follow the recommendations described in this article, you can easily keep your character alive and healthy so that he continues to develop in this fascinating world.
